Early in the speech, she jumped on the most-quoted line from Donald Trump's speech last week at the Republican National Convention. He said, “I alone can fix it!”

That prompted Clinton to mock Trump and suggest to the crowd that Trump was talking about America being broken and viewed poorly by other nations around the globe. She said, “Don't let anyone tell you we don't have what it takes. We do! And most of all, don't believe anyone who says 'I alone can fix it.’“

First, did Trump say "I alone can fix it?" He did. But was Clinton's reference to Trump's statement on the mark? No.

Trump was not referring to America's economic or global policies when he said “I alone can fix it.” He was saying that the major political parties are "rigged" because wealthy donors, like him, try to control those in office and shut out those who challenge them.

“I have seen firsthand how the system is rigged against our citizens, just like it was rigged against Bernie Sanders - he never had a chance, never had a chance,” Trump said.

Clinton distorts job numbers under President Obama

“Now, I don't think President Obama and Vice President Biden get the credit they deserve for saving us from the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes,” Clinton told the DNC delegates and a national television audience Thursday night.

Clinton gave major props to the outgoing commander in chief for helping Americans get through the recession and regain employment.

Then, she said, “Our economy is so much stronger than when they took office. Nearly 15 million new private-sector jobs.”

Is our economy “much stronger” than when President Barack Obama took office? WESH 2 News finds this statement mostly true.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the recovery from the Great Recession began in June 2009, five months after Obama took office and private payroll employment has grown for 76 months.

But has that generated "nearly 15 million private sector jobs?" No.

Democrats have typically only cited jobs created since the second year of Obama's first term in office, while neglecting the four million jobs lost on his watch after he was sworn in.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics job growth under Obama went from 111,474,000 to 122,056,000 jobs. That’s an increase of 10,582,000, not the "nearly 15 million claimed by Hillary Clinton.

Clinton on the One Percenters

Clinton also repeated the same claim made by Bernie Sanders this week that just 90 percent of the income gains in this country have gone to one percent of Americans, the wealthiest.

Just as we debunked the Sanders statement, Clinton is using outdated numbers. Fifty-two percent of income gains have gone to the richest people in the U.S.
